This post is for the Petite Fashion Challenge #19 hosted over at Pandaphilia by Angie, an adorable first year medical student (I love reading her posts about what she thinks of first year, it seems so long ago!!). The challenge was to take a trend and make it your own. I picked bold patterns and statement necklaces. Both of these items are on the edge of my comfort zone. The necklace is big and clunky, but its a neutral gold color. The sweater has bold stripes, but its in a classic cut. I threw some chambray on because, well, it seems to make nearly every outfit feel a little more put together.

Did anyone else have the thought today that their week is 40% over? Its the optimist in me, lol. All last weekend was spent perfecting my residency applications and finally submitting them. I ended up applying to 74 different places all around the country. I’m excited and nervous to see what will happen! And I’m ready for the weekend. A real weekend!

mustard and chambray! with olive and nude pumps to boot. this is soooo fall! it suddenly became freezing here too. i’m so happy at the possibilities! thanks for posting this despite your busy schedule!

I really like the cut of those pants…very flattering. The sweater colors are very pretty…seems like the thin stripe is even a little neon without being overwhelming.

I so want this weekend to be here already, too. This weekend did not feel like much a “real” one to me either. Good luck with those applications. Excited to hear where you will go…any particular cities you are really hoping for? How long does it usually take to hear back?
